Navigating Estate Taxes with Strategic Planning
Eleanor was overwhelmed by the prospect of managing her inherited wealth, especially considering the tax implications. Her primary concern was minimizing her tax burden while ensuring a steady income stream to maintain her lifestyle and provide for potential future healthcare costs. She also needed guidance on structuring her estate to benefit her children.
Using Golden Door Asset's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Calculator, we identified opportunities to lower Eleanor's AGI by strategically planning IRA distributions and considering deductions related to her late husband's business. By carefully managing charitable contributions and utilizing qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) from her IRA, we projected annual tax savings of approximately $4,500, totaling $27,000 over six years. This also allowed for better estate structuring regarding Required Minimum Distributions.
The AGI Calculator was used to model various scenarios, incorporating different withdrawal rates, charitable deductions, and potential tax law changes. The calculations were reviewed and adjusted regularly to ensure accuracy and alignment with Eleanor's financial goals.
